Cafe on the second floor of Shangri-La Hotel, Chenggri.

Because the Shangri-La Hotel is owned by Mr. Guo, the richest man in Singapore and Malaysia, many Chinese from Southeast Asia like to park here when they come to China.

Granary En is one of them.

Barn Eun, who is almost 80 years old, still has a very loud laugh, and with his rosy face, few people would think that he is almost 80 years old.

"Qi Shao, you really should come to Malaysia if you have a chance. We have a ranch there, surrounded by a mountain. There are many wild animals in it. During the hunting season in autumn, they drive the animals out. What about wild deer and roe deer?"

Ah, bison... there are all of them. We don't need to take a car and go hunting on horseback. It feels really good!" Gu Pingying suggested with a smile while her father and Xiao Qi were talking.

"That's right." Gugang En took a sip of tea and pointed at his eldest son and said, "He doesn't have much ability, but he can eat, drink and have fun. If you want to do something new, Mr. Qi, it would be right to ask him to be your guide.

.”

"I have long heard that Malaysia has beautiful scenery and many interesting places. I must go there if I have the opportunity." Xiao Qi smiled and nodded, "In addition, I have also seen Malaysia's rich products. In the past two years, my family has

There are too many Malaysian specialties to eat, so I have to give them away so that they don’t go to waste.”

"It's not worth a few bucks. The main thing is that you can eat with confidence." Gu Pingying shrugged, "We don't have so many deceptive vegetables, fruits, and vegetables over there. Although the farm you built Qishao is very good, the price is

It’s also expensive.”

"If our place is like your place, with a vast land and sparsely populated areas, I think it will be cheaper." Xiao Qi shook his head, "1.5 billion people want to eat, how can it be so easy? If we can influence some people first, we can make people eat.

Ecological agriculture has become more popular among people, and I am very satisfied."

"So, the indigenous people in Southeast Asia are the happiest. When our ancestors were still sweating the yellow soil, they could lie under the trees and wait for the food to fall." Gu Pingying said, "That is our continent.

The thinking is too serious. If we want to develop the Nanyang region early, how can it be possible for the European and American bandits to develop in their turn?"

"Nonsense!" Grang'en couldn't help scolding his son. This son was so frivolous in his words and deeds, without any sense of dignity.

As the world's richest man, Xiao Qi is typically proud of being a Chinese. Why does this guy keep complaining about the mainland?

"Haha, it doesn't matter. I think Brother Gu speaks straightforwardly, which makes people like him more than those who hide things." Xiao Qi smiled and waved his hand, "Although he may not be good at business, he can speak well."

Friends to chat with are more than enough. Brother Gu was born to enjoy a life of glory and wealth!"

"Haha, Mr. Qi, you are so right!" Gu Pingying said happily, "I don't have any other hobbies, but I like eating, drinking and having fun. But I am just a playboy, but I will not harm others. Everything is fine.

There is dedication without force. I know what I can do and what the bottom line is, so I live a very happy life and my friends also like me."

Looking at his son's proud look, Grang'en shook his head and laughed.

Speaking of which, he didn't like his eldest son's habit of eating, drinking and having fun, but he and Xiao Qi just got along better with each other.

On the contrary, my second son is down-to-earth and conscientious in business, but he has no friendship with Xiao Qi.

If I get older, I'm afraid the relationship between the Gu family and Xiao Qi will still need to be maintained by the eldest son.

Speaking of which, in the future, I will have to make some changes in the distribution of family shares in the Gu family. The eldest son can still get a little more family property than before.

After joking for a while, Granny En brought the matter to a more serious level.

"Qi Shao, as far as I know, last month Iran announced that it would sell US$100 billion of oil to China. Calculated based on their production and current shipping capacity, it will take at least 5 years.

Done." Grang En said, "If it's possible, do you think the Gu family's fleet can join in? After all, if we transport the oil back to China earlier, we will have more security."

Xiao Qi nodded slightly.

Granny is right, it’s important to seize the time.

For example, this year, didn’t the United States blockade Iran, and almost all the oil China bought could not be shipped out?

Even now that the United States has softened somewhat and Iran has once again increased its sales to China, if Iran starts to have disputes with Western countries again, it will be very difficult to complete the oil as expected.

Everything is fictitious. Only what is in the warehouse of one's own country is real and makes people feel at ease.

US$100 billion in oil seems like a lot, but if it had been the 2000s when global shipping was most developed, it would have been shipped within two years.

Although shipping is greatly weakened now, and transporting 100 billion US dollars of oil is very cumbersome, if a large amount of outsourcing is done, it should be completed in three to five years.

If the Gu family joins in, based on their existing fleet, they can indeed speed up the transportation of oil to China.

But it is precisely because the world's shipping has weakened that China's major state-owned shipping companies are now severely underutilized. They have contracted all Iran's oil transportation. Even with such a deep relationship with the Gu family, one

There was no time squeezed in either.

What a smart man Grang En is. Instead of competing directly with several shipping companies, he chose to come to Xiao Qi to see if there was any way Xiao Qi could help the world's richest man find Niu Ruzheng or Yu Chengsheng.

It would be much better for him to come forward on his own.

He was also sure that Xiao Qi would help him with this.

Not only because Xiao Qi is also preparing to purchase a large amount of land in Malaysia for the Fairy Farm project; not only because Xiao Qi needs the help of the Gu family for the establishment of Lymart outlets in Malaysia, but also because the Gu family is Xiao Qi’s

friends.

Xiao Qi is the most interesting person to friends, and this is recognized by all Xiao Qi's partners.

The Gu family has been friendly with Xiao Qi from the beginning. Ever since Xiao Qi helped them successfully get out of the shipping industry crisis, whenever Xiao Qi asked them for help, the Gu family never asked any conditions or mentioned any difficulties.

They all worked hard to help Xiao Qi, which represents a very good attitude.

Xiao Qi naturally knows this, so as long as he has the ability, he should also help.

There is another aspect that Granger En did not say out loud, but Xiao Qi also understood it.

That is the issue of uniting overseas Chinese.

China is such a big country, with a population of 1.5 billion, but this is not the total number of descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties. In fact, there are still about 300 million descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties in various parts of the world, including almost 200 million in Southeast Asia.

If China wants to increase its influence, it must rely on the power of its own people.

It just so happens that the Chinese in Southeast Asia are relatively wealthy and upper class, so the Chinese government has always treated these overseas compatriots favorably.

For any Chinese businessman who has a good attitude towards China, the Chinese government will definitely provide a lot of preferential treatment. This is a signal to others: "Those who are friendly to me will get benefits."

The Gu family is a typical friendly family here.

Although China's major state-owned enterprises did not give their share of the oil transportation this time because they were unable to feed themselves, the Gu family felt that they should fight for it. All the benefits had been taken by the state-owned enterprises, so what about their own situation?

What else can some compatriots eat? If we are a family, then you have to share some with us!

But the Gu family can't say this on their own. If they say it, they will definitely offend people and make people in the center uncomfortable. Therefore, it is best for Xiao Qi to say it.

"No problem." After pondering for a while, Xiao Qi said cheerfully: "I will tell Uncle Niu that with the competition and encouragement from overseas compatriots, I hope state-owned enterprises can also have a positive work attitude!"

"What do we need to do?" Guang En was happy in his heart, but his face became solemn.

"Coastal cities have attached great importance to port infrastructure in the past two years, but I think there should be a modern port not just on the eastern coast. There should also be a modern port in western Guangdong, the window to Southeast Asia." Xiao Qi said with a smile, "If Valley

I think the Central Hub will be very happy to have our capital and advanced management experience join us.”

Grang'en's eyes lit up and he nodded heavily, "I understand, thank you Mr. Qi!"

Even though Xiao Qi just said a simple sentence, it opened a new door for the barn.

There are a lot of agricultural products in Southeast Asia, but in the past, imports to China usually went through Guangdong or Quanzhou, which seemed a bit scattered.

But the location in western Guangdong is better. It is like the opening of a big bag. Ships to Southeast Asia are also very convenient. However, the port construction here is still lagging behind, so it cannot exert its power.

When Xiao Qi said this, he asked Ganggang En to tell the central government that he intended to cooperate with the local local government in western Guangdong to build a large modern port together with a channel to Southeast Asia.

In this way, the Gu family can gain the praise of the central government and obtain sufficient benefits from this port, allowing the family's industry to be further extended and the foundation to be more solid.

Since Xiao Qi dared to say this, it meant that he had such an idea or opinion on behalf of the Central Committee. He could take the initiative to talk about it and assumed a lot of responsibility for expenditures and construction, which would naturally relieve the Central Committee of many worries.

Besides, the Gu family's prestige in Southeast Asia is still very high. Once they have interests in the ports in western Guangdong, they will further promote the export of Southeast Asian agricultural products to China, which will enrich the dietary life of the Chinese people.

positive meaning.

I believe that the central government will not fail to see such benefits, and the probability of success is very high.

That's why Granny Encai thanked Xiao Qi so solemnly.
